hydraulic clutch

hello,

i see sometimes hydraulic clutch .


is there an advantage to have a hydraulic clutch?

I will follow on @noorbeast 's comment... some find it easier to use hyd clutch to avoid miss-shifts on certain games.

Clutch Pedal

​

We are especially proud of the clutch pedal. Clutch pedals have a unique feel all to themselves and we wanted to make sure we got that sensation correct. Again, we analyzed what mechanical components contribute to the sensation of the clutch pedal, specifically a race car clutch pedal. Ordinary street vehicles use a complex spring mechanism under the dashboard of the car to assist the driver in holding down the clutch pedal. This is helpful when the car is in stop and go traffic or simply stopped at an intersection. The purpose of this complex spring mechanism is to make the pedal lighter during its second half of travel, resulting in a soft-hard-soft pedal feel at it is moved from fully engaged to fully disengaged. Most other high-end sim-racing pedal sets on the market employ a complex spring mechanism on the clutch pedal to simulate this sensation. However, this complex mechanism is not only absent from a pure race car, it would also prevent the driver from smoothly releasing the pedal. In a pure race car clutch, the only forces acting back on the pedal is the clutch pressure plate spring. This spring, called a diaphram spring, is unique in itself as it gradually requires less effort the further it is flattened. The RealGear clutch pedal uses similar springs with high initial effort, while reducing the force required as the disc is flattened. This creates the most realistic sensation of a race car clutch pedal which provides the correct feedback to nail every shift . . . every time! Depressing the clutch pedal actuates a pneumatic master cylinder which utilizes a pressure sensor, rather than a position sensor to uniquely determine clutch engagement the way a real hydraulic clutch system operates.

I m considering to try this design some time in the future.




Another great (but more complex) design.

2nd one is a fanatec style.....Cool to see how easy it would be to mod a set of Logi pedals with a little effort.

Hello i own a Cst pedal set with modded hydraulic brake. I was considering another mod for a haydraulic clutch
i was not to sure about the kind of feeling you would get. I have already a wilwood slave cylinder a a oil conterner (or whatever it is called)
yes i am after realism. so that would be a good mod tyo do ?
thanks
